Catastrophic accidents caused by fatigue failures often occur in engineering structures.
Thus, a fundamental understanding of cyclic-deformation and fatigue-failure mechanisms is …

A novel strategy through controlling the selection of martensitic variant in metallic materials
is proposed to break through the trade-off between strength and ductility. Here we prepared …

The γ′-size effect on the evolution of microstructure and grain rotation during tensile
deformation in a polycrystalline Ni-based superalloy was investigated by in-situ neutron …

Inverse temperature dependences of the detwinning stress of face-centered cubic
deformation twins were discovered by studying the effect of elevated temperatures on plastic …

The cryogenic plastic deformation of CrCoFeMnNi high entropy alloy is characterized by
three distinct stages based on the change of the work hardening rate. Microstructure and …

The in-situ neutron diffraction technique, in combination with both the full-field crystal elasto-
